What's the problem with not wanting to show it in a video game you're making though?
What has he done that's "moral policing"?

historically speaking genocide is a valid and actually good option to deal with issues. the only caveat is that you have to actually finish the job or it fails.
smoking is also bad for you. its not just the tar that slowly clogs up your lung. its the nicotine that stays in your blood for a long time and hampers oxygen delivery, slowing down healing of cells and as a result accelerates aging.

If he really wants to create a nice and pretty world why doesn't he work on Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon instead of a game about guns and explosions?

his reasoning is that he doesn't want to encourage smoking. shouldn't that be a good thing? at least one 'agenda' is gone?

comics thought that "smoking bad, no one should smoke! bad for childrens!" to the character with death claws for a weapon.

and yes, his power would keep him in fine health despite smoking and cancer because its keeping his dangerous metal that poisons him at bay every second.

fuck you comics industry.

But you dont shoot people in Gears, youre killing alien monster invaders who almost wiped out all of humanity.

Smoking companies are right leaning. The jews fear them, that's they first tried to stop them with propaganda and when they realized they couldn't beat them, they introduced vaping to divert the dumb millennial libtards from smoking like real men.

>defending your own home and race BAD

Let me guess. He has made posts about guns needing to be banned as well?

>I dont like smoking so I wont put it in my action game
Kinda late to the party but whats wrong with this? Is a developer not free to put or not put whatever they want in the game, should they be forced to put smoking charachters?

It literally cannot be anymore hypocritical.

They're not alien invaders.

Maybe they will just vape instead.

no, its fucking a franchise that has existed for TWELVE FUCKING YEARS NOW.

Nothing, I did not say anything to that effect. I was thinking about executions specifically.

No DMC charachter ever drunk booze or smoke until DMC 5, and the moment Nico appeared less than 5 minutes into the game, they proudly said "CAPCOM DOES NOT ENDORSE SMOKING", are they hipocritical too?
Now thats more like it. Maybe if they somehow killed off all the charachters who smoke they could get away with it, but it wouldnt make sense in story to just have them stop, since its part of the design and identity of them. Having them quit wouldnt work either because its too much of a coincidence everyone just stopped smoking all of a sudden.

do you also cry on resetera about fictional "underage looking" girls getting sexualized?

See: In multiplayer you can play as the locust or whatever the rehashed version was called in nuGears and perform flashy executions on the good guys. Is that not glamorizing violence?

Since Fergusson is asking, if I could create a world, what I would change is getting rid of all these toxic substances and make unhealthyness a crime. I know everyone would appreaciate it sooner or later.

"Muh smokes" i fucking hate smoking but actually censoring on videogames? fuck taht

Good thing I'm a PC gamer and I have the FREEDOM the PC platform entails so I can ignore this ANTI-SMOKING game

shooting and sawing in half monsters easily identified as bad does not seduce easily impressionable people into emulation as the easily identified with heroes smoking in a way that may make them look cool for doing so does seduce easily impressionable people into emulation.

shooting and blowing people up *might* be bad dependent on the person, smoking is never good, irrespective of who does it. terminal cancer patients smoking weed to alleviate their pain is not good either, it is a palliative, just like methadone is bad, but less bad than heroin.

Is everyone in this thread shitposting or something, who the fuck would be pro-smoking that's like pro-dick-crushing

It's more about being against censorship, and even if you're against smoking, not like you need to hide every smokers, shame them, and then pretend it doesn't exist. Just don't do it yourself and don't recommend it to people.

I imagine a good chunk are.
But some are so "anti-SJW" (a term that has lost all meaning now) that they'll say smoking is amazing because an American-made game got rid of it. Or some shit like that.

I treat smokers like fat people. Sheer disgust and shame. Imagine wasting money to kill yourself quicker whilst not wanting to die.

Smoking is aesthetic as fuck

the only thing worse than a smoker is someone that thinks they live in a 90's PSA commercial and have to constantly remind everyone why smoking is bad for you.

Why would you want to waste your lung power on smoking cigarettes, which OBJECTIVELY do nothing for you but satisfy an addiction, when you can smoke DUDEWEED

I see we've reached the point of the "muh censorship" meme where the normal people jump off the boat and all that's left are the absolutely crazy people who do the work of their opposition for them.

This exact same thing happened with GG, remember how one of the things that pissed people off was kotaku declaring "gamers" as a concept was dead?

When was the last time you saw anybody on Yea Forums, or on the internet at all call themselves a "gamer" proudly. It wasn't that kotaku won those people just don't want to be associated with you spergs anymore.

The only thing worse than smoking is second-hand smoking. Smoking should only be allowed on your own private property and only if they ensure their hazardous cancer clouds do not come within the vicinity of anyone who has not legally and explictly consented to being subjected to them.

>It’s not with moderation, like everything else
Objectively false. The way nicotine functions means you're addicted after one cigarette. You'll just only be addicted for about a day.

When you make media that kids will be interacting with in increased numbers, it's understandable to not want to glorify smoking when most people who get addicted start in their pre-teen years and get hooked. Tobacco companies advertised to kids because it worked, user. Jizz on your keyboard to me about gore if you want but one of these has a history of actually getting kids addicted.

Nah fuck you I don’t a shit about you cucks. None of you beta bitches would dare say anything you got smoke blowed into your ugly faces lol

>glamorize something that is addictive and kill you
uhhhh like violence?

Humans are stupid and can find ways to screw themselves over, if I made toxic subtances dissapear, new would eventually appear because thats what people do. So I need to first erase the bad stuff and then prevent people from creating more bad stuff.

>losing friends to lung cancer

How the fuck do you lose friends to lung cancer.
Are you so insufferable that being around you makes people need a smoke every 10 minutes?

You'd be an idiot to do that, because what you're doing is repeatedly creating and severing a chemical addiction. Cigarettes don't make you feel good, they make you feel normal after making you feel like you NEED them. They do pretty much nothing. Just smoke a joint, kid.

No one is saying that smoking is bad for you. But making a big deal out of it like this makes you come off as extremely thin-skinned, and it's ironic that all these anti-smoking ads do is promote products.

Rarely. If you're one of those fuckers who takes breaks during work to huddle by the side of a building smoking up a cloud, then you're just a faggot.

Smoking should be done philosophically, during quiet moments of introspection or with the right backdrop like a seaside cafe.

this reminded me of a date I had a long time ago
we were talking in my car for a while around 3 hours into it, and we both went quiet at the same time
then she said "so..do you smoke?"'
and I said "yeah, you?"
and she let out a huge sigh of relief and we both pulled out our packs at once
its amazing what we try to hide about ourselves

>don't eat this poisonous mushroom but this other edible mushroom is fine
it's not hard

No because smoking is still in DMC5. The game uses a character to announce the anti-smoking stance. The anti-smoking stance is believably a trait of the character.
It's more annoying when a trait of the developer leaks into the game, then he uses that trait to gloat all over social media about how aware he is, and how he is making the world a better place, while still glamorizing the grotesque violence and brutality the game is known for. I guess I just hate egotistical people who jump on issues like this for social credit.
Disclaimer: I don't smoke and I will never touch those cancer sticks.

So this is how addicts act, huh?
Fascinating

not OP, and i agree with you, but i'm pretty sure he means that if smoking is bad why wouldn't shooting people be considered bad too?

What kind of jank-ass joints are you rolling? Anyway you can also smoke cannabis out of a water pipe, significantly reducing the harmful chemicals. You can even vaporize it. Regardless, I'm not sure if you know this, but cigarettes contain a huge range of harmful unnatural additives. Cannabis does not cause cancer, cigarettes do.

As much as I think idolizing cool characters smoking is, well, cool, I hate the smell of smokers IRL. It's always done by the worst looking people as well.

I told my boss I smoked cigarettes so I could go smoke a joint a couple times a day at work. Stay seething.

Visionaries aren't part of it anymore and instead it's about having a committee tell a story.
This guy was just a whiny fucker trying to de-rail the vision other people had for the character because of his offended and sensitive feelings.

Videogames don't make kids go shoot people, we solved that one a long time ago. Advertising smoking to kids as a cool thing makes them smoke and get addicted, we solved that one even farther back user.

Inhaling hot smoke into your lungs increases your risk of cancer and COPD because you are damaging and irritating your lungs user. Smoking is worse than weed, that doesn't mean weed isn't bad for your lungs too. Just eat pot brownies.

Nah, I'm just cooler than you.

I think it’s one of those times where one is obviously bad, while the other is more down to Earth and easier to replicate

Reminder that "smoking is cool" is propaganda designed by edward bernays to influence women into being part of the smoker market.

Imagine not being able to show people smoking, the Yakuza series would be doomed in the west.

Personally I never smoke joints. I almost exclusively smoke from a cooled bong, or do the same but with vaporized concentrate. I didn't say it wasn't bad, just that it wasn't going to directly give you cancer like the chemicals in cigarettes.

Throw in an outbreak over female nipples and you've got american morals in a nutshell.

By that logic nothing should ever be allowed to display anything designed for mature audiences since kids will see it anyway. You think my parents were actually able to stop me from watching pro wrestling or South Park growing up?

Besides, if a parent knowingly gets a child something rated for mature audiences, the fault is with the parent and not whoever added the objectionable content in the first place. The ESRB exists so that kids can't get their hands on those titles unless their guardian willfully ignores them, thus waiving all liability on the developer/publisher's behalf.
